There are some games that come in boxes so big that you wonder what the producers were thinking when they designed their storage solution. We can count on being hard pressed to run out of storage space for these games, but oh, our poor gaming shelves.

This is a list devoted to those lovely wastes of cardboard. Please add your finds. Try to use an image that emphasizes this waste of cardboard atrocity!

I repeat: Please try to find an image in the gallery that represents the oversized box and use that image in your geeklist addition. Thank you.

Rush N' Crush has hardly any pieces at all. The box only needed to be big enough to hold the track and driver pieces with a little bit of extra space for the other components. Instead, this is what we got. Fortunately, I know the size of the box will help keep dust from settling on my shelves.

Great setup for keeping my cards from touching each other. I wouldn't want any of them to see the abilities of their neighbors and try to change their ability text. I suppose the size of the box is perfect if I want to store everything in a single box, but that leaves 6 other boxes empty. Should I throw the other boxes away or keep them in case I ever want to sell the games? At least I know they will all look pretty as a single stack on my game shelves.

A great game, and worth it to purchase all the expansions in one set. So I looked at the Big Box and well, the box is too big. Wow, sure its got good amounts in it but the use of space is awful. What where they thinking? The box is huge yet offers no room for future expansions. Yeah, I can throw the insert away, but then I have an even larger waste of space. I can only hope that enough expansions will be released to use this entire cardboard volume.

Just look at this photo. Someone put a huge chunk of plastic in there yet the pieces will still rattle around. This box only needed to be a little larger than the deck of cards, but look at all that cardboard padding. Come-on, really?

If you think Caylus Magna Carta is bad, you should look at Caylus. The insert offers about 70% of the box to be used, you can turn the insert upside down and use the 30% just fine to store the components.

Another box that uses about 30% of it's space. a couple hundred cards and a handful of point markers. worst of all this box isn't really good at holding cards as the sides are kind of sloped on the insert. This game fits much nicer in one of it's expansion's boxes.

Antiquity came to my mind right away when I saw this list. Granted, there are a lot of bits and pieces, but there is no gameboard, only tiles and medium sized platters. The largest item in the box is the rulebook and player mats, which is about all the box needs to be sized for, but instead you end up with one of the larger games boxes out there.

This one always bothered me. I understand that the expansions start filling up the extra space but the box should be better constructed to handle them. When you buy the base game, you get a deck of cards, a few chits, and a threat meter all in a big empty box.
